Reorganization of the Action Observation Network and Sensory-Motor System in Children with Unilateral Cerebral Palsy: An fMRI Study

Figure 3

Probabilistic functional maps of the action observation circuit for the ALL TASKS > BASELINE contrast in TD children (as previously published in Biagi et al. 2015, top [5]) and in UCP children (bottom). Colour bar represents different levels of probability of activation for the action observation task from 33% (red, meaning that a brain region appeared in the map only if it was activated in at least 4 subjects) to 83% (cyan, equivalent to areas activated by more than 10 subjects). For each transversal slice, the z Tailarach’s coordinate is indicated. On the right, we represent the left hemisphere for TD children (radiological convention; R = right, L = left) and the unaffected hemisphere, that is, the hemisphere contralateral to the unaffected hand, in UCP children (unA = unaffected, A = affected); on the left, the right hemisphere for TD and the hemisphere contralateral to the affected hand in UCP.
